Ken Burns

Karl Mondon, MCT

PBS documentary filmmaker and historian -- possibly the most influential historian of post-World-War-II. What's he doing with a gang of ideologues like this? That's what I asked him last week. Burns said that Olbermann's a "friend." Burns says he is not being paid for appearances, and Current TV says he will not be discussing politics.
